I just looked in to that link for 'Lens Technology International' and it looks like they just do coatings for plastic/glass/metal. Nothing there says that they weren't used to put a coating on Corning Gorilla Glass. I'm thinking that they were used either for the color coat under the glass or possibly for the oleophobic coating on top.

From the Engadget article:

According to Chinese newspaper 21st Century Business Herald, the problem stems from a little-known Chinese factory by the name of Lens Technology, which is apparently responsible for transforming fine raw glass into the majority of iPhone glass panels out there (and contrary to previous reports, there's no mention of Corning here).

All the breakthrough technology in iPhone 4 is situated between two glossy panels of aluminosilicate glass — the same type of glass used in the windshields of helicopters and high-speed trains. Chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic, the glass is ultradurable and more scratch resistant than ever. It’s also recyclable.

I hope this isn't the case because these military helicopters aren't scratch resistant at all then. The iPhone has very poor scratch resistant when you compare it to Android phones with gorilla glass.

Everyone that says their screen is in perfection condition but doesn't use a screen protector is lying. You'll see hairless scratches when you reflect the screen off light.

Those 'hairless' scratches (you mean 'hairline') are actually in the oleophobic coating, not the glass. It's easy to scratch the coating, but these only show up in reflections. The glass beneath is a lot harder to damage.

I was just going by what I found at the link you posted. There is no mention of glass making only coatings for plastics, glass, and metal.

I'm amazed that people still claim iPhone uses Gorilla Glass. If you'd ever seen any of the countless videos on the subject you'd know Gorilla glass does not shatter. The iPhone screen does. Simple as that.

Exactly. I thought it was common knowledge as well but I keep seeing posts here referring to iPhone Gorilla Glass...hence this thread

I have no idea whether the 4 and 4S have Gorilla Glass or not, but the original iPhone, and very likely the 3G and 3Gs, most certainly did. (Steve Jobs bio, where Jobs specifically said Corning Gorilla Glass was used in the original iPhone).

While the iPhone does not use gorilla glass, it is stupid to say that gorilla glass does not shatter.

my BRAND NEW HTC Vivid with corning gorilla glass shattered today...
Now I have to go beg to AT&T
